Animeeshon, known for its big eyed, small mouthed characters, has many exclusive styles. While it is very common to find worldwide works of horror, science fiction, action, and the like, manga has genres that cannot be found in other films. The culture depended on it.
Just like in music, you should be able to pick the difference between post hardcore and death metal. With manga, you should also learn how to categorize if you want to be a serious anime reviewer. While everyone can pretty much assume what is classified as romance or action, obscure knowledge of anime can make you confused in terms of labeling the movie or series you are watching.
Mecha movies are derived from the word mechanical and refers to anime that focuses on robots that can be piloted. Mostly they are very huge, or may take a humanoid form. Sometimes they become one giant super robot consisting of much smaller ones, but as long as these machines are pilotable, then they belong to the mecha genre.
Two romance sub categories are harem and ecchi. Harem refers to shows with a lone male central character with many female characters competing to win his love, and are usually living in the same house with him. Ecchi is a perverted but humorous approach to romantic films and may even be called softcore, but because they never show explicit content, they cannot be classified as hentai. Hentai is the harcore porn of the anime world, where tentacle rape has originated along with other bizarre fetishes.
The magical girl genre shows innocent girls, typically cute and young, to transform into some super heroine version of their own selves. The plot involves these girls fighting an evil force. They tend to be prepubescent or teenage, and themes such as love, friendship, and growing up revolve around these characters.
Renaissance men and women are not rare in the manga universe. In fact, there is a whole following dedicated to the idol genre, the type where the overtalented becomes rich and famous. It is usually a rags to riches story and may have some slice of life bits.
You would probably be very familiar with card battles and monster war types. With their self explanatory description, it is not hard to tell that protagonists and antagonists using collectable cards as weapons belong to card battles. Monster wars define the universe where cute and adorable monsters can be schooled to fight for their masters.
Shonen ai refers to manga containing a male homosexual relationship at its core, while shoujo ai is for lesbian relationships. They are not pornographic, but rather romantic. The sexually explicit ones are the yaoi for the male and the yuri for the female.
Like the stereotypes of their characters, manga genres are full of stuff endemic to their very own culture. This makes them more enjoyable and crazier than your daily dose of television. Yet in spite of their seeming insanity, they always manage to have some deep underlying philosophical lessons hiding in the all the action, that is, if you can find them.
